Hiring a wedding band is by far the best way to make your wedding reception totally unforgettable. A live band will create an unrivaled, immersive atmosphere and inject a level of energy and excitement that simply can’t be replicated with pre-recorded music. The band will read the room and respond to your crowd, playing non-stop hits that will ensure your dance floor is jam-packed for the entire night. They’ll interact with your guests, involving them in the magic from start to finish. All this creates a recipe for a completely unmissable experience that everyone will talk about for years to come.<\/p>

So it’s obvious that hiring a wedding band is the way to go, but we understand it can feel a little daunting. You’ve probably never hired a band before so how do you go about it? It’s actually really simple! Let’s take a look at what you need to consider before booking to help make the process as stress-free as possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Deciding on a budget for your wedding band is one of the most important choices you\u2019ll make.

With so many other expenses to consider, and entertainment being the thing that will make the biggest impact on your wedding day, it\u2019s worth investing as much as you can in it. You\u2019ll probably only get married once so make sure your big day goes off with a bang – hire a wedding band<\/a> and make your reception completely unmissable!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Always a good place to start!

A sound limiter is a device that cuts the sound if a pre-defined decibel level is reached. They\u2019re becoming increasingly common at wedding venues and if you find out that your wedding venue has one installed, don\u2019t worry at all! Many bands will be able to adapt their performance through the use of electric drum kits and it won\u2019t affect your enjoyment of the music in any way. It\u2019s really important to find out if your venue has a sound limiter and to tell your Warble adviser at the time of enquiry. They\u2019ll be able to suggest a whole host of bands who fit your requirements and you’ll be able to party into the night without worrying about sound malfunctions. You can find out more about these pesky little devices in our sound limiter guide<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

You\u2019ll need enough space, not only for the members of your band, but their instruments as well. This will give everyone enough room to perform comfortably and put on their best performance for you and your guests. We recommend the following stage sizes for the most common wedding band line-ups as a minimum:<\/p>
